OT-Terrible News

Duiz · Post #1 » by **Duiz** » Wed Apr 30, 2008 4:35 am

Well guys, this was my last Jazz game for the year. I am an international relations student over in UVSC, and I can speak both English and Spanish. I am originally from California but lived in South America for an awfully long time. I have been learning French for a while, and finally will be doing a study abroad this summer for 12 weeks. So I will be studying in an academy in Nice, France, and won't be able to follow the Jazz as much as before. By when I am 30 I plan to have also Mandarin and Russian down. I am pretty sad about leaving the Jazz when they are just starting the post season, but one must move on. FJS, estare en Barcelona este viernes y sabado, tomo el tren hasta el domingo. Guys, it was a heck of ride following the Jazz this season, and I will stop by sparely to see how things are going.

You guys better make up my craziness while I am gone. :wink:

As I told you, tomorrow in the morning I leave to France. I have terrible news my friends. My sister and her husband today at 1 PM, were assaulted by people whom we do not know about. She lives in Guatemala with her husband and has three kids. She wasn't with the kids, but unfortunately they were shot over 30 times with a high caliber weapon. I just feel so so sad that she is gone, and I am mourning a for her death, and crushed by little nieces and nephew (8, 6, and 4) who are now orphans.

It is amazing how everything is going well at one moment, but at the other one, things turn around so quickly. My poor sis, and her kids.

Good luck, enjoy Nice, I love Nice! and Monte Carlo. I was surprised by the rocks on the beach at Nice vs sand. Still love it though. Have a good time.

Being in France doesn't mean you can't continue to follow the Jazz.
I was up at 3h30 in the morning to watch the Jazz game this morning.

Wow Duiz, that is really terrible news and I am really sorry that all of this has happened.

Truly there are no words to express how you must feel, and in turn there are no words we can tell you for any consolation. Obviously we all still wish you the best and hope for the best for you and your family. Our prayers are with you my friend.

Sincere, heartfelt condolences. Some of the things that happen in this world are simply unexplainable. I don't even know what else to say.

Have funz over there. We'll hold the fort down.

Sorry, just read the rest of your post. Man, that is really terrible. I can't imagine how you must feel right now. It's times like this when all this stuff about the Jazz and all that just seems so insignificant. I hope you are still able to enjoy your time in France. :pray:
